Biography

Minnie Rothenberg was born in Russia about 1882. ^[1]

Around 1900, Minnie married Samuel Glassgold after the death on 17 Feb 1899 of his first wife Ida Rothenberg Glassgold, who was Minnie’s older sister. ^{[3] [4]}

Both indicated that they had been married for zero years. The two children present were Samuel’s daughter Jennie, age 4 (born September 1895 in New York; and his son Harry, age 1 (born February 1899 in New York). By the dates and ages, this child Harry appears to be Cook Adolph Glassgold by an early nickname. Both of these were the children of Ida, who had died shortly after giving birth to Cook Adolph Glassgold^[5] Thus, they were Minnie's niece and nephew as well as her step-children.
